Conspiracy Theory Claiming Vaccine Shot Is Magnetic Debunked by Doctors

The claim that is going viral on social media — that magnets will stick to the spot on your arm where you got the COVID-19 vaccination — has been debunked by doctors. Conspiracy theorists claim the phenomenon of magnets sticking to arms proves the vaccine contains a microchip - it does not. The oil and sweat in our skin can act as an adhesive of sorts, but there is nothing in the vaccine that would attract a magnet, and the vaccine is safe.
